Act 10:44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those hearing the Word. Act 10:45 And those of the circumcision, who believed (as many as came with Peter), were astonished because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the nations also. Act 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered, Act 10:47 Can anyone forbid water that these, who have received the Holy Ghost as well as we, should not be baptized? Act 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay certain days.
But who wrote the Book of Romans? Didn't the author of the Book of Romans have to chastize Peter for his treatment of the Gentiles - even after the above incident???
Gal 2:7 But on the contrary, seeing that I have been entrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter to the circumcision; Gal 2:8 for He working in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision also worked in me to the nations.Gal 2:11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was to be blamed. Gal 2:12 For before some came from James, he ate with the nations. But when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision.
Paul was a Roman citizen! Peter never would have stood a chance in Rome.
Neither of them did; they were both martyred.
Yes he did. You've blown Diego's argument that Peter was never to go to the Gentiles out of the water.
Good point. Romans would have considered Peter a Jew and he would have been banished, the same as Priscilla and Aquila:
Act 18:1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth;
Act 18:2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; because that (Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
I think this is one of the primary reasons why Paul's ministry was primarily to the gentiles...he was a Roman citizen and had access where those born as Jews might not.
